There are over thirty worlds that have appeared in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series so far. Most of them are based on {{w|The Walt Disney Company|Disney}}'s animated features and contain locations and characters from or inspired by the films. As a result, worlds are greatly varied in appearance, style, and nature, as their sources range from the oldest cartoons created by Disney to more current movies in the Disney canon. The oldest source is the 1928 cartoon ''{{w|Steamboat Willie}}'', used as a basis for Timeless River, while the most recent inspiration for a world from Disney's animated features is 2004's ''{{w|Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers}}'', the source for [[Country of the Musketeers]].{{fact}}<!--this is no longer true--> In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', two live-action films, ''{{w|Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl}}'' and ''{{w|Tron (film)|Tron}}'' served as the foundation for the worlds [[Port Royal]] and [[Space Paranoids]], respectively, while ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' included "[[The Grid]]" based on the live-action film ''{{w|TRON: Legacy}}.

In addition to the Disney-based worlds, twelve original settings were created by game developers {{w|Square-Enix}} as worlds unique to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. They tend to be populated by Square-Enix characters from the ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Main Page|Final Fantasy]]'' series, as well as Disney characters without a world dedicated to their film, or original characters created just for ''Kingdom Hearts''.
